“Significant Places” and “Landscapes” in the Northwestern Half of the Iberia, During Pre and Proto-Historic Times UISPP / IUPPS | XV Congress / XV Congrès | Session C41 Session C41 Monday, 4 September 2006 / Lundi, 4 Septembre 2006 Room 6.1.56, Faculty of Sciences, Lisbon University Salle 6.1.56, Faculté de Sciences, Université de Lisbonne The creation of “significant places” and “landscapes” in the Northwestern half of the Iberia, during Pre and Proto-historic times. Theoretical, recording and interpretation issues from case studies in this region Motifs d’art rupestre, sculptures et monuments informels/formels dans la création de « lieux signifiants » et « paysages » dans la moitié Norouest de l’Ibérie, pendant les temps Pré et Proto-historiques. Questions théoriques, de registre et d’interprétation, partant de cas d’études de cette région organized by / organisé par Maria de Jesus SANCHES Faculdade de Letras, Departamento de Ciências e Técnicas do Património, Universidade do Porto. Porto, Portugal – [email protected] Mavis GREER [email protected] SESSION’S ABSTRACT The first aim of this meeting is to bring together an enlarged methodological and interpretative discussion about recent field “art “ research carried out during the last three decades in north- western Iberia . The second aim concerns different case studies related to its local and archaeological context. Natural carved or painted surfaces, stone-built monuments and the overall settled landscape must be joined together in an interpretative web of social, cosmogonical and political relations that extend, or change, over time. As a result, particular importance is given to local or regional studies where broader interpretative perspectives are emphasized following the concepts of landscape archaeology. No less important is to bring together researchers (and issues) traditionally constrained to their own specific field: those who investigate pre and proto-historic “art” (rock, megalithic or another kind of art), and those who make “serious” or “hard” field work (ie., excavations ), as well as ethnographers, specialists on religion and art, philosophers, and so on. Also theoretical approaches dealing with the relationship between methods of recording and interpretations are other key points of this meeting. We are sadly aware that rock art sites, monuments and a vast array of the archaeological record tend to disappear due to the introduction of heavy machinery in agricultural and forestry works. Therefore, papers containing complete recordings of art (engravings, paintings or “sculptures”) made by modern or, even, experimental methods, are welcome too.

O caso de estudo em apreço foi o complexo rupestre da Penascosa/Quinta da Barca; o Tempo escolhido foi o período Gravetto-Solutrense (de acordo com a caracterização crono-estratigráfica que vem sendo proposta por AMB). No referido trabalho procurámos demonstrar a existência de uma estruturação na base da distribuição das gravuras pela paisagem. Procurámos, de igual modo, explicitar de que maneira essa estrutura condicionaria a nossa forma de andarmos e percepcionarmos os locais por onde seríamos forçados a passar. Essa forma de percorrer e ler a paisagem seria certamente catalizada pelo modo como o próprio Mundo seria encarado pelas comunidades coevas. Contudo, as figurações paleolíticas da Penascosa/Quinta da Barca não se esgotam no período focado naquele trabalho. Em tempos Magdalenenses o “santuário” foi aparentemente reestruturado, fruto por certo de novas formas de estar no Mundo. É precisamente sobre essa reestruturação que esta comunicação incidirá, procurando-se evidenciar as diferenças em relação a épocas anteriores e, simultaneamente, perceber que “paisagens” (ou espaços) eram essa(e)s que agora emergiam. Ao mesmo tempo que é nosso objectivo contribuir para um melhor conhecimento e apreciação da Arte Paleolítica de ar livre da Península Ibérica, tentaremos também fundamentar a nossa ideia de que uma aproximação à Arte Rupestre em geral, com bases teóricas sólidas e metodologias adequadas, é algo de fundamental na altura de aceder às cosmogonias pretéritas. C41-03 Filipe João Carvalho dos SANTOS Luís Filipe Coutinho GOMES João Miguel PERPÉTUO O Dólmen 2 de Chão Redondo (Sever do Vouga): escavação, restauro e iconografia. RESUMO: Esta comunicação pretende dar a conhecer e publicar mais uma intervenção arqueológica e de restauro num dólmen do Centro de Portugal pela empresa ArqueoHoje, lda. Os trabalhos desenrolados em 2000 permitiram a obtenção de resultados importantes para o estudo do megalitismo regional. Destaque para o levantamento dos motivos gravados nos seus esteios que vêm fornecer alguns dados inéditos e enriquecer deste modo o corpus da arte megalítica peninsular. C41-04 Maria de Jesus SANCHES Dólmenes do NW da Península Ibérica: uma aproximação às cenografias internas através da articulação entre arquitecturas e iconografias. RESUMO: Baseando-nos na documentação arqueológica publicada relativa aos dólmenes do NW da Península Ibérica que possuem iconografia no seu interior e que, em simultâneo, Lisbon / Lisbonne, 2006 | #245 UISPP / IUPPS | XV Congress / XV Congrès | Book of Abstracts / Livre des Résumés disponibilizam informação arqueológica susceptível de ser estudada segundo uma perspectiva fenomenológica de utilização do espaço megalítico interno, procuraremos entender de que modo a ausência de luz natural bem como as dimensões do espaço interno condicionam ou propiciam a apreensão dos espaços iconografados. Numa outra escala de análise- a do inventário dos motivos e sua distribuição quer no espaço interno do monumento, quer nas diferentes zonas do NW peninsular-, indagaremos da eventual identificação de “mitografias” locais e/ou regionais no seio das comunidades neolíticas desta região. C41-06 Primitiva Bueno RAMIREZ Rosa Barroso BERMEJO Rodrigo de Balbín BEHRMANN El metal y los simbolos de los ancestros en el Norte de la peninsula Ibérica RESUMEN: Los diversos trabajos que nuestro grupo de investigación viene realizando en torno al Arte Megalítico de la Península Ibérica,abarcan cuestiones relacionadas con el papel de las figuras humanas en los ámbitos cotidianos y funerarios del megalitismo. En este marco de análisis nos proponemos valorar el decurso gráfico e ideológico que manifiestan las figuraciones armadas del Norte peninsular.La adición de armas metálicas no supone un radical cambio ideológico,sino la transformación y uso de mitologías conocidas utilizadas para justificar la posición preeminente de personajes destacados que continúan reitereando gestos funerarios y gestos gráficos de los ancestros.Ellos se erigen en herederos de la tradición. El estudio de la estela armada de Soalar,en Navarra,nos proporciona elementos para reflexionar sobre el papel de los personajes armados en todo el ámbito nordpeninsular,evaluando – a través de ellas-,la realidad de la presencia o ausencia de determinadas tipologías metálicas,especialmente las alabardas. En la actualidad son las representaciones gráficas las que permiten analizar una pauta significativa acerca del conocimiento de la metalurgia en este sector avalando posiciones más complejas que las tradicionalmente admitidas y matizando afirmaciones tajantes sobre marginalidades nunca demostradas desde el punto de vista arqueológico.Más aún en zonas de altas posibilidades extractivas.

  • Aliel: a Mid-Holocene Stone Platform with Cairn and Single Pillar in West Turkana, Kenya
    NYAME AKUMA No 86. December 2016 KENYA Aliel: A mid-Holocene stone platform with cairn and single pillar in West Turkana, Kenya Alex Wilshaw Herman Muwonge Frances Rivera Marta Mirazón Lahr Introduction In August 2016, the In-Africa Project, which fo- cuses on the palaeo-environment and human occupation of West Turkana during the late Quaternary (http://in-af- rica.org/), identified a stone platform and cairn whilst sur- veying an area between the Napudet Mountains and the Kerio River in Southwest Turkana. Different from other simple cairns in the area, this structure, locally known as Aliel, also exhibits: a) a single standing stone within the construction of the cairn; and b) a significant assemblage of pottery sherds (including Nderit ware) on the surface of the platform. Cairns, circles, platforms and stone struc- tures are well-known features of the prehistory of the Tur- kana Basin (Robbins, 2006, Wright et al., 2016), includ- ing complex megalithic architecture in the form of ‘Pillar sites’ characterised by the presence of multiple stone pil- lars placed vertically on the ground within a constructed platform, such as Lothagam, Jarigole and Kalokol (Hil- Figure 1: Map showing the location of Aliel in context debrand et al. 2011, Grillo & Hildebrand 2013, Nelson, with pillar/platform sites and pastoral sites in the area. 1995; Figure 1).

  • "On the Relations of Canaanite Exploration to Pre-Historic Classic

You may, perhaps, remember that the pillars on each side of this recess, of Solomonic twisted pattern and polished marble, appear to have been turned upside down, and to have their capitals of greyish stone in broken leaf-like patterns below. On vi~iting this the day before yesterday, July 5th, I discovered that a great part of the yellowish plaster had been removed from the top of these pillars, and that rich grotesquely carved capitals were exposed to view in an admirable state of preserva­ tion.
